Gilman also described Luongo's post-deadline press conference—"My contract sucks"—as a "significant press interaction." Sadly, he wasn't asked about other emotions: Remember, what human beings perceive as love is nothing more than a complicated set of chemical reactions.

Gilman did give Luongo credit for the way he handled everything: ""The dignity and the grace and the humility with which he has conducted himself over this period … has been exceptionally admirable."

The Canucks, famously, tried to trade Luongo for more than a year and failed, largely because of said sucky contract. Now, Cory Schneider is a New Jersey Devil, and Luongo is still a Canuck. He hasn't said much of anything since the trade, outside Twitter—actually, the closest he's come was an appearance in the soon-to-be-legendary Harrison Mooney and Co. video "Big Old Goal," which was released earlier on Friday.
